When Men Slept Poem by Chukwuebuka Adebayo

And when men slept,
Enemy and his legions crept;
sowed tares amidst wheat,
___other closed under their feet
while some opened the soil:
with spider darned owl's foil,
And rats chewed crop in barns
and wasted every of their earns;
Dogs barked at strangeness in sky
cats with glowing yellow-like eyes,
Stood scarily hunting upon graves;
Bats flew in and out empty caves
And mother of vampires sitting afar,
plucked down thousands precious star.
